    It works Pete as long as you stay with program

    Most of us tried it..some it curbs their gambling and scared them which is good

    I tried pills to take urge away along with medical supervised strapped down method

    I actually busted the straps after day two and left the evaluation program

    Women like stability. Gambling/Poker isn't seen as stable. Mostly because they don't understand it. It also takes time away from the most important thing to them...themselves. There are outliers & exceptions. I've waged many a battle w/ Mrs Blazer in my poker career. She eventually caved and was okay with it, but it was some work.

    I have an angle on GA. Think about it.

    Hey, those are the guys that failed at gaming. What if u sign up for GA as a lark and ask those guys for their selections?

    They are the ones that failed. Would surely be great fades!

    GA is for losers, winners never quit... lose 500 bets in a row its part of the game, dont stop what you love to do because it's hard, gambling is hard and if my partner has a problem with it (which she did) you work it out truth is i love gambling more than women

    A new Gucci bag or Chanel bracelet is what they care about friend. Work is work, kick her ass to the curb if she's not with the program

    He's saying "women all over you", I don't think it was talking a relationship/s. You make good money and are half way decent looking, the women will flock, it doesn't matter what you do.

    Quitting gambling is easy. I did it 12 times just this past football season alone.

    What women love more than anything else - more than looks or money - is FAME. Women will flock to famous guys like flies to a picnic as long as they are not famous for, like, being a murderer... but hell, even famous murderers have their own groupies.
